Matthew Goodwin first came to the attention of the business community as a man to watch in 1954, just after completing his National Service with the RAF, when he took a part-time evening job delivering elective lectures to Glasgow Chartered Accountant apprentices. Despite knowing at the outset no more about the specialist subject than any other newly-qualified CA, such was his meticulous preparation, and charismatic lecturing style, that after a year or two attendances had built up from a mere handful to more than 150 students, cramming themselves into the biggest lecture theatre the institute could hire.
